Motor conduction velocity is expected to be normal or nearly normal in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Some studies have suggested that pathology may be present in the proximal axons. Indeed, some investigators have shown a decrease in the proximal conduction velocity in ALS by using motor cond
## Abstract In this study we aim to establish a motor nerve conduction study (NCS) for the cauda equina and examine its usefulness in multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). NCS of the tibial nerve proximal to the knee was performed with an optimized highβvoltage
